'94 and once again he is playing the flip flop game again. so all you really need to do is replay those debates between my dad and mitt romney

or blue states but the united states of america and he didn't even say those words in just that form. that's what we remember. for the president it's a matter of making the case, especially on the point of hope. maybe the most valuable thing that bill clinton did for him last night was saying hey we got this far. things are still tough but we're on the verge of programs that will pay off this coming four years, believe me president clinton said. that's the baton that president obama can pick up and carry. >> jonathan, beyond those little phrases that can be so important and that people can talk about or can remember, there's a bigger feeling that people do tend to take away from speeches at least if they sit and watch the whole thing and one of the criticisms of mitt romney's speech it was short on specifics. the president has said himself that he intends to tell the american people much more specifically what he intends to do. does he need to do that and if so how much perspectivity? -- specificity? >> the most common criticism after any political speech it should have been more spe
